Abyssal Studios

Key art for an MMO in development, plus the pixel-art temples, forests and creatures players meet.

Key art, pixel-art environments and sprite animation for Abyssal Studios’ MMO. The banner was painted as separate background, boss and hero layers; in game, we designed temple and earth biomes, their decor and alternate colour palettes, and animated the bosses, mobs and portals that fill them.
